The name may be a little strange but it is the
same tournament as the USBCA City Championships
kick off Saturday, the start of two weekends of
action.
Elks will play host to the team event, while
Little's Lanes will be the site of the doubles
and singles.
As per tradition, the 2006 Honors Team, which
this year features Les Hackett, 96; Carroll
Patton, 88; Wendell Peck, 88; Henry Baker, 88,
and newcomer Leonard Ritzschke, also 88, will
open the tournament throwing the first balls
Saturday morning at 11. It's always a fun time.
Squad times for team are 11 a.m., 2 and 6 p.m.
on Saturdays, and 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on
Sundays.
Times for the singles and doubles are 12:30,
3:30 and 6:30 p.m. on Saturdays, and 11 a.m. and
2 p.m. on Sundays.
Entry forms are available at all city lanes or
over the Internet at musbc.com/gfusbca.
Entries close Thursday prior to each weekend.
There are three divisions divided by average:
Division I is 182 and up for singles, 364
combined and up for doubles, and 910 and up for
team.
Division II is 169 to 181 for singles, 338 to
363 combined for doubles and 845 to 909 for the
team.
Division III is made up of 168 and under for
singles, 337 and under for doubles and 844 and
under for team.
Entry fees are $95 per team and $38 for singles
and doubles, $19 per event per person.
Also, entry forms for this year's USBCA State
Tournament, which will be held right here in
Great Falls, are also available at all area
houses.

· In a final featuring a pair of Bozeman bowlers,
Jill Zimbric defeated top-seed Tami Roper,
203-173, to win the latest stop of the Montana
Mountain Glass Traveling Club, hosted by The
Bowl in Bozeman.
Zimbric advanced to the final with victories
over Butte's Denise Orizotti, 178-152, and Great
Falls' Shawna Lane, 186-172, in the semifinals.
Orizotti opened the stepladder with a 213-195
win over Butte's Kathy Davis.
Roper averaged 197.2 in the qualifying to take
the top seed. Lane was second, averaging 192.7.
A total of 10 bowlers from across the state
competed in the event.
The next stop will be Sunday, Feb. 12, at
Westside Lanes in Missoula.

information about the league.

·
· The 2006 Budweiser Handicap Tournament opens
this weekend at Lewistown's Snowy Lanes. Tourney
manager Rex Coleman urges bowlers to enter this
Saturday on on Sunday afternoon shifts, since
the last three Saturdays are already filled.

·
· Leading the efforts last week were a 747 set,
with games of 246 and 278, by Brian Christianson
in Little's Straight-A-Way, and Guyla Streit,
who tossed a 708 series with a huge 275 game in
the 725 Classified, also at Little's.
In other league action, Rock Rayl fired a 225
and 622, while Nobi Sirucek's turned in a 222
and 596 for the men's and women's highs,
respectively, at Pin & Cue.
At the Elks, Jake Jacobs posted a nice 711
series, with games of 245 and 244, for the high
men's score. Karin Osborn's 640, with games of
258 and 235, earned women's honors.
The Wednesday Men's Handicap League at Murph's
continues to be one of the more competitive in
the city. Mark Pepin topped the talent this week
with a 687 set, on games of 245 and 225. Ron
Simonsen receives a nod after a 280 game.
Sharing men's honors at Black Eagle were Dustin
Curtis, who went 231-223 for a 657 set, which
was 100 total pins over his average; and Bob
Chesko, who had 687, with games of 246, 228 and
215, in the BECC Seniors.
Roxie Foster's 244 game in the Friday Fallouts
led the women.
Also deserving mention this week is Mike Arps,
who scared perfect games on a couple of
occasions. Arps shot 288-710 in the Satellite
Mixed at Little's, and followed that with a 279
game in the MixMasters.
